Ownership/Leadership Transition

Perhaps something more gradual is appealing.  Either way you look at it, you will exit your business some day, either by design or by default.  At EisnerAmper, we would like to help you to design the future that best meets your needs and the needs of your family and business.

As the company matures, along with the owner and perhaps senior leaders, roles need to change too.  It is imperative that leaders find a way to pass on their wealth of information and experience to a younger generation of ‘emerging leaders.’  However, this is not always easy.

On these pages, you will find a host of ideas, tools, articles and blogs to help you to navigate this often confusing and confounding stage in business and in life.
